User Reviews

• Seems good, but no wildcard searchs on text.

  Pros

  It's exactly what I was looking for EXCEPT for one major gotcha.

  Cons

  No wildcard searches on the text. Therefore it's useless.

  Summary

  Quite a few of these search and replace utilities have this fundamental flaw, let me give you an example. Let's say you have a giant .html file full of tables that look something like this: <tr> <td>John</td> <td>smith</td> I want to insert a row here in mass on many files. <td>Hackinsack NJM</td> This is impossible with this program and many others like it that don't have wildcards. The only way this would work is if you could do a search and replace on this: <tr> <td>*</td> <td>*</td> Alas.
